An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/Private]

[Riku]

It had already been several hours after the class had ended where Riku had been accidentally blinded by a fellow student. At least he hoped it was an accident. If not, Osu and RIku would need to have a little chat. But Riku was sure it had been an accident. Pretty sure. The fact of the matter is that Riku was still blinded n his left eye and Junko-sensei had offered aid for it. All he needed to do with reach out to Junko-sensei at the hospital. Riku would have been here sooner, but Osu had done quite a number on him. And even though he was healed, Riku still felt pretty exhausted from that spar.

Entering through the front main doors, Riku examined the interior of the Aesculapium. How neat and clean it was. He had only been here a few times in his whole life. With a medical shinobi as a mother, he never really had any need to come here unless it was super serious. Like that one time he broke his wrist after sparing against a tree. Good times.

Riku approached the front desk to stare at the receptionist behind her computer but he would only be ignored. The sound of hitting keys on the keyboard ringing inside the lobby where only grunts and moans could be heard. Riku cleared his throat to catch her attention but it was no use. He tried to clear it even louder but only to no avail. Noticing a bell on the counter, RIku hit in, causing a loud ring to sound through the front lobby. At that point, she would finally shoot him a dirty glance, remove the bell from the counter then return to what she was doing before. "Excuse me, Ma'am, I'm looking for Junko-sensei." He stated loud and clear, but it would appear she paid Riku no mind.

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

"Excuse me, Ma'am, I'm looking for Junko-sensei."

"And you got him!" Junko said standing behind the boy, towering over him looking down. "I'm assuming you're here to finish this eye business we have to take care of." Junko said placing a hand on Rikus head.

looking to the receptionist, Junkos expression became grimly. "We don't deny help to anyone of our village. Don't let it happen again." Junko said coldly. He didn't take these things lightly. If it was to happen again, Junko would surely report her. "Let's go, I'll be taking you to my sensei's old office." Junko said motioning for Riku to follow him.

His spacious office consisted of two levels: his office and conjoined research lab. The first level had wall to wall shag carpeting, a monitored intrusion alarm, central air conditioning, red and white potted camellia flowers, and a very nice view considering it was a corner office on the first floor. Upon entering the room, one will notice two brown and beige sectional couches against the near left and right corners of the room. No doubt meant to seat the many staff members that made daily visits to the office, or so he liked to believe. His potted camellia flowers sat on the windowsill while the wall behind his desk held all of his commendations and awards. Minus one or two differences, the left and right side of the office and the furniture seemed to be completely symmetrical.

Against the right wall after the couch came two five-drawer filing cabinets followed by a large white oak bookshelf, another two filing cabinets, a display case filled with medical supplies, and to the far right corner of the room was the entrance to the basement level. The same description could be used for the left side of the office except for the fact that the far left corner of the room near his desk was a pantry which housed all his snacks and goodies to satisfy his sweet tooth.

Twisting the cold knob to the office, the door slowly opened as Junko pushed. looking inside, Junko smiled. Nothing had changed really. Daisukes personals had been packed, but the furniture and view was exactly the same. Touching the old desk, Junko allowed his fingers to glide across the wooden desk as he took a seat. "Take a seat and make yourself comfortable." Junko said with a hand gesture.

"Well... I'll get straight to the point. You have two choices. A general eye surgery, or a kinjutsu surgery. Kinjutsus are Forbidden Techniques. Techniques that have been banned from being taught or used. They're usually banned due to self harm, violation of the laws of nature, or massive collateral damage. Luckily, Kumogakure is one of the only places that allow the practice of Kinjutsu and ensures safety to all." Junko said with a brief pause.

"Unfortunately, the individuals over kinjutsus are gone, the harvesters. Luckily again, you have me. I've been taught and have mastered kinjutsu surgery by the harvester branch. With that being said, you have a choice between the implantation of the sharingan or byakugan. If you do choose the kinjutsu road, I must warn, it's a lot to handle and you'll have a long road ahead of you." Junko said looking at Riku in the one eye he had left.

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

Hearing a familiar voice behind him following a hand placed on his head, Riku' twisted his body around to see Junko, the Mednin who recently hosted his Taijutsu class. The same class in which Riku's left eye had become disabled by fellow student. Precisely why he was here. Junko had offered help to fully repair the child's eye and Riku couldn't pass up such an opportunity. His ultimate goal of becoming Raikage wouldn't be easy but it would be even more difficult with only a single eye. "Hiya Junko-sensei! Yep, you guessed it. Better sooner than later." Truth be told, Riku would be taking his Genin exam soon and he would rather have both eyes for it. Hopefully Junko really could help.

Riku's lips curled into a cheesy grin as he was greeted by the man he was looking for. And not only that, but the way he scolded the receptionist behind the front desk. Junko must really be some what important in the medical community to frighten her in such a manner. Upon being instructed to, RIku followed Junko to his old sensei's office. Riku wanted to ask about Junko's sensei, but it didn't feel right to him. Maybe he had moved up in the chain. Or retired. What ever the reason, Riku felt as though he shouldn't mention in, he could feel some tension in the air.

The boy followed Junko into the office, taking a seat on the left side of the room on the set of couches when prompted. Though he wouldn't get to comfortable. His left eye may not have been blinded long, but he already couldn't stand it. He wanted to get it fixed. Needed to get it fixed. Junko began explaining the types of surgery he offered, one of which caught his attention. Kinjutsu. He had heard about it briefly before in a previous class. Though he hasn't thought about it before. It certainly would give him a leg up on the competition. And it may even aid him in accomplishing his dream of being Raikage. But it was extremely dangerous, he may not make it through the procedure. On the other hand, a standard eye transplant would be safe and effective. But how could Riku pass up on the opportunity to become a powerful Kinjutsu user?

The child remained silent for several moments debating which procedure would best fit him. But in the end, he knew what he wanted to do. "I'd like to try the Kinjutsu transplant" He stated looking Junko dead in the eye. But now he had another decision to make. There were two option for him once again. Sharingan or Byakugan. After discovering his own bloodline, Riku binged on a book reading spree, learning of the more popular clans and some of their special abilities. A tough choice, but Riku didn't toil quite as much over this decision. "The Sharingan." He said, sure of his choice "I understand Sensei. I will do what ever it takes to restore my sight and become Raikage!" Riku proclaimed with another wide grin. "How soon can I expect the surgery?"

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

Looking at the young one, He had much potential. With his potential, Junko also saw the young students drive to take on danger. After all, kinjutsu surgery wasn't an everyday walk in the park.

"I understand Sensei. I will do what ever it takes to restore my sight and become Raikage!" "How soon can I expect the surgery?"

"Raikage huh? Well, you have a great journey ahead for you. It's a long climb to the top, I hope you're ready." Junko said with a brief pause. "You can expect this surgery once you complete my psychological evaluation. I must insure that you have the appropriate mind frame for a kinjutsu. I'm pretty sure you do, but it's precautionary." Junko said with a nod. "I'm a novice in psychology at the moment, but I've been studying and practicing, so this is me putting my knowledge to the test." Junko said pulling a pen and pad from his belt pouch.

"I have fourteen questions for you, answer them accordingly. As you answer, I'll be making notes and decide if you're ready for a kinjutsu. If all checks out well, I'll commence with a general surgery to remove your current eye. Afterwards, I'll go into a kinjutsu surgery to implant the sharingan." Junko said preparing to ask Riku evaluation questions.

Answer the first fourteen questions of the document.

 

[Riku]

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

Riku was both a little excited and a little scared. Being a whole new thing to him, he wasn't sure what exactly to expect of in terms of the Kinjutsu transplant. But at the same time, the thought of having his sight restored filled him with joy. And to think all he had to do was answer fourteen questions. Riku wouldn't waste any more time in order to get straight to business.

A. Do you have any physical problems that you are concerned, seeing a doctor about, or taking medication for?
B. If yes, what are you concerned about?

The only possible thing that came to mind was Riku's eye and that's exactly what he was here for. "Only for my eye." He said winking his good eye. But it would be difficult to discern a wink or a blink with only one eye.

A: Do you feel Depressed, sad, or burned out?
B. Have you ever had any feelings of wanting to harm yourself?
C: Have you ever tried to harm yourself?

"No sir. I'm actually pretty excited." Obviously training wouldn't count. That was mereing pushing his body to it's limits, not intentionally trying to harm himself.

A. Do you have a problem with anger, such as having a temper?
B. Do you have more of a temper when drinking or using?

Using? Using what? With the context, Riku could only assume he meant drugs. In which Riku doesn't partake. Despite formally being quite the class clown, Riku is clean as a whistle. "A shinobi does not let his emotions take control of him, especially during battle. Plus I don't drink. Not old enough." And honestly, Riku never saw the point in it. It was beyond his year.

Do you resent being given advise?

"Never! Advice in the foundation in which we grow. Good or bad, I'm willing to listen to what ever advice someone has to give me. Either it will help me or I can prove them wrong." Riku stated plainly. Being underestimated was fun, cause then he could surprise them with his potential.

What do you like to do for your leisure or free time?

"Well when I'm not training, I usually hang out with my friends or help my dad with his fishing business. But I usually keep pretty busy."

A. Do you think that people are basically not very trustworthy and would take advantage of you if they could?
B. Are you sensitive to what others think of you?

"Some people aren't but we can't base our relationships with everyone on those few that could be untrustworthy. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason not to trust them." Riku thought back to his interactions with other shinobi and other people around the village. "Not really. Everyone could have an opinion about me. But I value the opinions of my friends more than the opinions of people who don't know me."

A. Are you anxious or nervous?
Do you worry a lot?

"I must admit, I am a little anxious. I've never had a major surgery before. And I have no idea what to expect in a Kinjutsu surgery. But that uncertainty also makes the experience a little more exciting. Not really. I sometimes worry about my friends and family, but I know everything will be fine and it will all work itself out in the end."

Do you feel separate from other people like it is you against the world?

"Nope. My friends and family are great to me. They even believe I can achieve my goal!" The boy proclaimed happily.

Do you like to stay active and get bored really easily?

"I do get bored at times but keeping active is what helps against that. I mostly train to take my mind off of things."

Are you uncomfortable in social situations, like being in groups or meeting people for the first time?

The only time Riku had every felt awkward in a social situation was when he met Emi. His infatuation for the girl caused him to become dumbstruck. Cheeks turning a bit rosey, "Uh...no. No, not really. Well there is this one girl......er. Nevermind." Riku adverted his eyes until the memory faded and he would become unflustered.

A. Do you feel guilty about drinking or using chemicals?
B. Who do you feel guilty towards?

Riku was quite unsure how to answer this question. He didn't drink or use any chemicals so he couldn't possibly be guilty about it. And the second question was even more strange. Who did he feel guilty towards? "I don't drink or use any chemicals other than the occasional Cola. So I guess I don't really feel guilty towards any one."

Are you aware of being afraid or fearful of anything specific?
Explain.

"I wouldn't exactly say afraid or fearful, but then again I don't know exactly what to call it. I know there is one thing I never want to do." Riku paused for a second to take a breath. "I don't want to fail. At all. I don't want to fail my family. I don't want to fail my friends. And I don't want to fail my village." Another pause, this one much longer. "But I try not to think about it because I won't allow myself to fail. I will never give up."

A. Do you have any family members who are alcoholics/drug abusers?
If so, who and are they recovering or still using?

"My father enjoys the occasional sake but it's not much and it's only maybe once a week." Riku really hadn't been exposed to the darker side of life much. But he was young and surely being a shinobi would introduce to such.

A. How does the future look to you at this time?
B. What types of things give you this feeling?

"Right now, I see myself earning the Kumogakure head band in a few weeks after acing my Genin exam. After that, who knows what the future holds for me." Riku thought about it. he did see himself as Raikage but he decided to only mention the near future. Who knows how long it would take him to achieve his goals. "My training definitely helped. And all the classes I took. Plus my friends and family support me. So I know I can do this."

With the barrage of questions over, Riku awaited his evaluation. This would determine whether he was allowed to receive a the Sharingan Kinjutsu transplant or not.

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

constantly writing, Junko observed the young kids mind frame with each psychological question. Analyzing his answers, body language, and looking into the good eye he had left. Junko was unravelling the Childs mental personality a piece at a time. "Quite a positive kid, determined, ready to take on any challenge, and holds the belief to make it to the top. Hmm, he values family and friendship. A great trait of a Raikage to protect and lead." Junko thought as he stopped writing.

"His confidence could get him into trouble if it already hasn't." Junko thought with a smirk. Overall, Riku checked out well. "Well..." Junko said sadly letting suspense fill the room. "You're good! Mentally that is. With that being said, let's get things going. We'll be heading to theater 34. I'll go through with the general surgery and by the time I finish, the sharingan will have arrived for implantation." Junko said with a nod.

"Shall we?" Junko said standing up and gesturing to the door. Once Riku was ready, Junko would quickly place one his specialized seals on the bottom of his sensei's old desk, burning it into the wood permanently. Once done, they'd head towards the theater on the second floor.

---:|Theater 34|:---

After heading upstairs to the theater, Riku would soon find himself Sitting in the well lit operation room, on operation bed waiting for Junko. The room would seem chilling as the air conditioner was set to an all time low to keep germs and bacteria down. Entering wearing his clean medical uniform, Junko sighed as he pushed a rolling cart holding diverse utensils for the two surgeries that was about to take place. "Before we begin, any questions, comments, or concerns?" Junko said washing his hands. Drying his hands off quickly with paper towels, Junko waited for a response as he put on medical latex gloves. Today would be a day that would change Riku's life forever. Hopefully he could master the power that was about to be bestowed upon him.

Thinking back, Junko remembered his first Kinjutsu operation. He performed it alone on his own brother, Aiko. "By the way, If you want advice on controlling the sharingan... I have an extremely kind brother that could help you." Junko said scratching his right cheek with his index finger. "That's a good idea. I think I'll inform Aiko later." Junko thought looking at Riku.

[Riku]

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

Delighted to hear that he had passed the psychological evaluation, Riku gave himself a metaphorical pat on the back. Though this could possibly be the easiest part of the entire ordeal. The next step was the removal of his damaged eye. A surgery found to be not so common. And here Riku, at the ripe young age of 12, would be experiencing it. Even if that were to go well, it still wasn't the part that made him so anxious. The Kinjutsu surgery itself would be the most traumatic of them all.

Riku nodded at Junko's statement as he stood form the couch and followed his sensei out of the office and to what he referred to as Theater 34. It wasn't long before Riku had been changed into a patient's gown and sat atop the operations table ready for his initial surgery. His head twisting around to take in the full view of entire room. Even though it was so clean and neat, it gave him an eerie feeling. He trusted Junko's abilities. Especially after seeing his power displayed in the class that had earlier that day. But he had a strange feel deep inside of him, A feeling that would make Riku more nervous than ever. The chilly temperature of the room didn't help.

Trying not to think about anything negative, such as getting his left eye ripped from his skull, Riku focused on more positive things. Like what his family was doing right now. By this time, they were preparing dinner. Probably having fish again. Just like practically every other night. The perks and downfalls of owning a fishing business. The perk, he got most of his fish for a fair price, if not free. The downfall, they ate fish EVERY NIGHT. One gets sick of fish real quick at that rate.

Snapping out of fond memories, Riku's attention focused in on Junko as he spoke. "Are you going to put me under or numb me at all?" A good question. Just how much did eye removal hurt and would he have to experience it all. He would if he absolutely had to. A ninja was no stranger to pain after all. "That would be great, I'll make sure to get ahold of him. Thank you, Junko-sensei." Riku couldn't help but shake that strange feeling in the back of his mind. But he was determined to go through with this.

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

"Are you going to put me under or numb me at all?"


"I'll be putting you to sleep and using numbing techniques for your eye as well as your body." Junko said referring to Riku's question. "Now, with that being said. Let's get things started shall we?" Junko said guiding Riku back to lay on the bed. "Simply relax. Don't worry, I gotcha." Junko said making his way to the back cabinets. Searching for the right prescription, Junko grabbed the correct medication for a numbing sensation. Studying under Daisuke, and personnel of the harvester division, and the sentou Henka, the medical shinobi learned quite a lot. Advancing, Junko even managed to develop his own methods for procedures, complex surgeries, and basic medical needs.

Unscrewing the medical bottle, Junko poured a small portion of the the orange liquid into the palm of his left hand. Using precise chakra control, Junkos hand bursted with a light green chakra pigment. Evaporating into his chakra, the medication slowly enhanced Junko's medical jutsu, changing the color of his chakra entirely. Morphing into an orange pigmented color, Junkos hand gave off a pulse of warm energy. "This will be used to numb you and put you to sleep." Junko said showing Riku his hand as he approached his bed Side.

Placing a hand on the child's forehead, he'd feel a sudden warmth that would pulse through his entire body, giving a tingling sensation at the bottom of his feet. His vision would become blurry with each second until he fell sleep. Once sleep, Junko moved his hand over the boys bandaged eye. "That its for the body and this should numb his eye." Junko thought removing his hand. Ending his technique, Junko continued.

Removing the wraps from Riku's damaged eye, Junko studied it closely. Despite healing it, damage had returned. "He was hit with a blood jutsu huh? That is right.." Junko thought focusing. The eye had become quite pink. Infection was obviously spreading. Even though Junko healed the eye, bacteria from the blood used must've remained, infecting the eye by the minute. "This just turned into a trauma situation." Junko thought beginning to pick up speed. "If I don't purify and removed the eye quickly, the infection could easily spread to the rest of his body. That's some blood jutsu osuteno used. Quite effective." Junko thought placing an eyelid speculum on Riku to keep his eye open.

Covering the rest of the child's face with a drape, Junko ensured only the infected eye remained for work. After Placing a lubrication on Riku's eye to prevent drying, Junko grabbed his medical scalpel. Looking back, he was use to Trauma and general surgeries. He'd been practicing them for many years dealing with Daisuke. He just never got the chance to show his sensei how much he developed his skills. "I hope you're watching Daisuke. Look how far I've come." Junko thought making his first careful incision. With another careful incision, Junko Cut the optic nerve, destroying Riku's sight in the damaged eye completely. Removing the eye slowly, Junko placed it to the side on a small table.

"Now to remove the infection that might've spread to the optic nerve." Junko thought making another cut. The sight was quite bloody, but Junko had developed a strong stomach since his younger days. He was now able to do these things without batting an eye or turning away. Especially in trauma situations. "The eye is now removed, I've cleared all signs of infection." Junko thought putting his scalpel down. "Whew. This stuff never gets old." Junko said looking at Riku as he slept. The young academy student could've been dreaming about anything. "Rest well, this will be over soon." Junko thought as a nurse came crashing through the doors with the sharingan eye ready to be transplanted. Placing the jar to the side, she left as Junko began examining the young man physically.

With his knowledge of anatomy due to his Biology mastery and Daisuke, Junko analyzed the boy's body to the highest degree. "His body should be able to take the sharingan. Using it will most definitely have an effect on his muscle tissue throughout his body. He's still young, so he'd just have to grow into these things. The pain will definitely be excruciating " Junko thought touching the child's various limbs. Junkos hair began to stand up like a porcupine strangely. "Hmmm? What the hell." Junko thought surprised.

"An interesting kid indeed."

"I'd say... Something's off about him though don't you think?"

"Finally speaking again? And no, he seems quite perfect. A bright kid on a good path. apparently, he's apart of an interesting bloodline."

"You'll see what I see soon enough. Just watch closely. You've observed him well, but maybe you should look deeper."

"Hmmm." Junko mumbled as he decided to examine the boy a bit more before implanting the eye. Junko studied different bloodlines in his free time, learning about various ones and their abilities dealing with Daisukes various paths. Once again, he had a chance to use his knowledge. "He makes my hair stand up. That's more of an lightning element. Come to think of it, he used lightning element Justus in class today, but to have it steadily flowing through his body in his sleep? Now, that's on a completely different level." Junko thought with a pause.
"According to ancient times, it has been a clan known to control the weather and have these extraordinary lightning abilities." Junko thought Lifting the eye lid of the child's good eye. "It's emitting a tiny glow. Wow, he's an santaru. Haven't heard or seen a santaru since my childhood friend Haru. I wonder how much has this child mastered his abilities." Junko said astonished.

"If he was just a mere corpse, I'd cut him open straight down the middle and examine his Bloodline up close and personal. I'd Make scientific notes and do various experiments. Lord knows it's needed. After all, the harvester division is no more and is under reconstruction." Junko thought shaking his head. The mad scientist within him was scratching to come out. Sadly, he'd have to wait another day.

Removing his gloves, washing his hands, and putting on a new pair of gloves. Junko decided to check the boys pulse by placing two fingers on the side of his small neck. Afterwards, Junko continued and checked his breathing. "Alright he's fine. I'll begin prepping the sharingan for implantation." Junko thought moving towards the container containing the remarkable sharingan. Unscrewing the cap and removing the sharingan eye, Junko carefully placed lubrication around the eye to prevent drying. Expecting it, Junko made sure no bacteria or anything else harmful was around the eye. "Alright, time to begin the kinjutsu surgery." Junko thought with a nod as he moved back to Rikus bed side. The surgery would consist of connecting the optic nerve along with making sure the young academy students chakra network was compatible with the eye. Once done, time would be the kids best friend. He'd need all the time possible to heal and get use to the powerful eye. Surely, the hospital wouldn't mind keeping him and giving Riku the best treatment needed. He could stay until he was well rested.

Re: An Eye for an Eye [Req. Junko/OPEN]

A wave of relief washed over Riku after being told he would be numbed and asleep for the operations. It was nice to know that even if it hurt, he wouldn't be able to feel a thing. It would make the transition so much easier. He couldn't imagine being forced to feel the pain of having a eye cut out of his body. Or even being away and numbed for that matter. Such an event would be traumatic for such a child. Even for a shinobi. Though Riku was lucky enough to both be numbed and put under for the operations, little did he know the true ordeal he was about to go through.

"Now, with that being said. Let's get things started shall we? Simply relax. Don't worry, I gotcha."

Riku nodded and laid back on onto the bed with Junko's direction. His eye now tracing the ceiling looking for something to focus on. He heard a rustling in the cabinets. Curiosity getting the better of him, the boy leaned his head up watching Junko search through a plethora of bottles and such. After locating the right one, Riku observe an orangish liquid being poured into the medical shinobi's hand. Then he witnessed the power chakra reveal itself to be a light green shade, but then change to orange. His head laid back down, ready for what ever comes next.

"This will be used to numb you and put you to sleep."

"See you soon....with both eyes." Riku said playfully as his lips curled into a grin. Riku felt a warm sensation first at his forehead where Junko's glowing hand sat. Then it began to spread through out his entire body. Before long, he could feel a tingling sensation in his toes then spread to his feet and legs until his entire body felt funny. The vision in his good eye becoming more and more blurry with every passing second until the eye lid shut closed completely. Even though Riku was asleep, he still felt all warm and fuzzy. Especially over his damaged eye. Then soon, he would fade into darkness completely.

All alone, darkness surrounded the child. "Hello?" His voice echoed through the darkness. No one answered. "Is anyone there?" Again, his query was met by silence. "What is this strange place?" Riku muttered under his breath, trying to find any sight of light or life or anything other than the eternal darkness he saw now.

Riku wondered around for several lonely moments before saying something under his breath. "Why am I here?" A familiar tone would answer him this time around. "This is where I live. Where I thrive. This is your subconscious." Riku's head whipped around to find Tora, the boy he thought was his best friend. "What do you mean my subconscious? What are you even talking about?" Riku noted that Tora had been acting quite strange as of late. Disappearing out of thin air. His attitude changing towards being a shinobi. Hell, Tora's attitude even changed in regards to life.

"So you still haven't figured it out yet?" Tora said with a hearty chuckle. "You're such a naïve little child." Riku was still unsure of what Tora meant. "You're not making any sense, Tora. Explain!" Riku was beginning to get agitated with his friend's words. "Very well. I'll spell it out for you so that even your puny brain can understand it." Tora remained silent for some time, allowing the anticipation to build up within Riku. "Just spit it out!" He commanded. Tora had not seen Riku act in such a way. He was almost proud of the boy. "I'm not real."
The bomb had finally been dropped.

Moving forward with the operation, the rising medical ninja slowly placed the sharingan eye into the academy students head. "We're about to reach the end soon." Junko thought accumulating a few drops of sweat. Examining the optic nerve, Junko attached the eye after using a precise incision with his scalpel. Concentrating chakra through his medical tool made things much more smoother as he made incisions effortlessly.

"Now, for his chakra coil attachment." Junko thought ensuring the chakra veins attached to the boys eye. Receiving a bit of heat, Junko had to speed up. Riku's bloodline was battling against him, active, and coursing through his eyes."What the hell..." Junko thought puzzled. "I don't know what's going on, but I need to finish. If I don't, this kid might fry me." Junko said shaking his head. "Alright, good." Junko thought finishing up. "I Still need to check the child's response system to the ..." Junko thought, but stopped as he had a bad feeling. Chills traveled down his spine as he looked at the child. With his eyes widened, Junkos jaw dropped.

"Now you feel it?"

"I do... It's... What is it?"

"You should already know."

"It's strong and growing stronger by the second..."

"So what are you going to do?"

"This could be chaotic. Can you tell the entity of the thing?"

"You may have to destroy the kid..."

"No... That won't do nothing. Except free the thing."

"Better think Fast.."

"Wh....what!?" Riku was taken back by this news. He wasn't even quite sure what Tora meant. How could his best friend not be real? "What are you talking about? How can you not be real?" Riku, still baffled, tried to figure it out. His mind racing. Searching for answers. "All the time we spent together....all those memories......are you saying those are not real!?" It was obvious that the boy was frustrated. How an earth could any of those be possible. It wasn't feasible. Riku was so confused that all he could really come up with was 'what, why, and how'. Never the less he wanted answers.

"Perhaps I misspoke." Tora stated, not caring at all about Riku's mental meltdown taking place. "You see, I am real but I am not real." The figment failed to properly explain the situation, causing Riku to become even more infuriated with him. "You're not making any sense, Tora!" The child shouted. "Well first off, my name isn't Tora." This would only confuse Riku even more. "Th eboy you knew as Tora never existed."

"Don't get your panties in a twist, I'll explain." He said, clearing his throat as he body had under gone a strange transformation. Tendrils appearing to be roots surrounded the being. As he had become encased in this wooden cocoon, a green light began to pulse from within. Soon, the roots would pull apart form the top as if it were a flower blooming."Kami No Mori is my true identity. And this is my true form." The being stood in all his magnificence atop the wooden flower.

Riku stood in awe after witnessing the transformation process upon the discovery of his best friends true appearance. "Mori..." Riku muttered under his breath. His one good eye glanced over the new shape of an old friend. So tall. And a body made of roots and vines. Still, Riku didn't understand what was going on. "But...how does that....why...who are you?" Riku had so many questions but could barely even put a sentence together.

"It would be much easier to show you than to just explain it..' Mori stated, confusing Riku even more. The darkness surrounding the two would turn into a vibrant scene in the forest. A forest that seemed familiar to both of them. The Nimbus Delectatio. "This...This is my home. I was born here. Hundreds of years ago." Mori stated, As a much smaller version of him could be seen patrolling the forest as if he was it's protector. "I am the guardian of the forest that lies within the Land of Lightning. A powerful forest spirit whose only purpose was to protect these lands from invaders." The scene would change slightly, showing a group of rogue shinobi hunting down and corning the young Mori. No matter what he tried, they would not allow him to escape. "Plenty have tried to get their hands on the secrets within my body. Anyone who tried failed." Mori revealed all the men and women he slayed trying to capture him. His actions were mostly out of self defense. But each time, Riku noticed a little more malice with each failed attempt. As if Mori had begun to take it personally over the years.

Then Mori showed another group. This group, much stronger than any of the last. "They nearly killed me here." Riku watched as each of the shinobi beat down on the forest spirit one right after another. Until an intervening group jumped in, dispatching the rogue shinobi and ultimately saving Mori. "Luckily I was saved my a patrol from the Village Hidden in the Clouds. But all too late. I was dying" Riku recognized one of the Cloud ninja as his mother.

Regardless, Riku's mother did what she could to heal the forest spirit. But without any knowledge of it's anatomy, she was useless. "What are they saying?" Despite being able to show Riku what happened, Mori was unable to replicate the sound. But Mori remember every word spoken that day. "The female said it was hopeless. She couldn't save me. The male stated that he was aware of the legend of Kami no Mori. That this could be a great scientific break through. He was no different then the rest of them." Bitterness lined his tone. "He prepared a sealing technique, attempting to seal my power into one of their bodies. The female volunteered." Mori said, allowing the events to play out a bit further. "However, it didn't go as planned. Instead of sealing my power within the females body, they sealed me within the unborn child she was bearing."

Riku, shocked by this news, had no idea what to say. "So you're saying..." Riku started, but what cut off by Mori. "My power was sealed within your unborn body. I am a part of you." he allowed Riku to process this for a moment, but just a moment. "You were aware of my presence as a young child, but you imagined me to be an ordinary boy named Tora."

"But why have you been such a dick lately?" Riku bluntly queried. Tora's...er....Mori's attitude has changed lately. Becoming more aggressive and just over all sketchy. "You need to get stronger. Cause if you die then I will die with you. You losing you eye was a close call. Far to close for comfort. The only way to make you become stronger was to keep pushing you further and further."

"It was to ensure our survival." Just as Mori finished, the scene faded away to darkness once more. "NO! Mori said in a panicked tone. "It'll destroy both of us, I can't let it happen!" The two began to fade even further into darkness until Mori's power overwhelmed the foreign entity.

The surgery seemed to be going off without a hitch. Riku's vitals were all good and with Junko performing the operation, what could possibly go wrong? Well what ever it was, it happened. A few moments passed with the Sharingan eye implanted into Riku's skull before his machines showing all of Riku's vitals went haywire. Riku suddenly awoke from his medicated slumber, screaming his lungs out as he felt the intense searing power of the Sharingan eye battling the power forest spirit. The boy flailed on the operating table scratching at his face as if it would help. "MAKE IT STOP!!!" Eons seemed to pass as the two super powers fought against one another. Riku's super charged body had begun to emit surges of electricity, forcing anyone away from him by sending strong volts through their bodies. The newly attached eye flashed between the sharingan and a strange glowing flower like shape.

The two forces flashed back and forth, battling for control of the child's body. The electric pulses died down as thorn covered vines appeared to grow from in between the tiles in the floor, wrapping their way up and around the table Riku struggled on top of. Soon, the child would be surrounded by the vegetation like it was trying to protect him. The Sharingan chakra had been completely diminished from the eye, squished out by the overwhelming chakra of the tree spirit who's power dwelled within Riku. The thorny vines blooming several beautiful varieties of flowers. The eye, although of sharingan origin, now bared a new symbol. A green flower appeared in the iris of his newly implanted right eye. The child's screams became less and less intense as the pain faded away. Now the child lay on a bed of flowers and thorns wondering what was going on with his life. "Junko-sensei....what am I?" The boy questions weakly, tears only flowing from his good eye. What would this new discovery mean for him?

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

"MAKE IT STOP!!!"

"Oh Shit!" Junko said taking a few step back. Beginning to focus his chakra in the palm of his hand, Junko shook his head. "Reading his body language and his chakra, it's obvious that this boy has an internal battle going on within himself." Junko thought as electrical shock waves began to emit from the boy.

"It can't be.."

"What?"

"It's the legendary Kami no Mori."

"Kami who now?"

"Kami no Mori. A forest spirit said to be destroyed some time ago."

"What's it doing inside the kid?"

"I'm not sure, but his power is overflowing. It's spilling through the kids pores. From the legends, it's most definitely a force that shouldn't be taken lightly"

Chakra began to spin in Junkos hand. With high speed and velocity, a sphere of chakra rotated with a high amount of concentrated pressure.

"All you can do is leave it to the kid. It's his fight."

Gritting his teeth, Junko was stuck. Luckily, things began to die down as vegetation seeped through the operation rooms tile floor. The child's screams lessened with each moment.

"who won?"

Shaking, the boy managed to speak as he laid on the vegetated bed of flowers and thorns.

"Junko-sensei....what am I?"

Ending his jutsu, Junko approached him. taking a look at his eye, it was something beautiful. "His spiritual counter part must've overpowered the power of the sharingan and created something new." Junko though wiping the child's eye.

"You're something special." Junko said with a smirk. "You're known as. A jinchuuriki." Junko said with a pause to let things sink in. "Just like me." Junko said placing a hand on top of the child's head.

 

[Riku]

"A jinchuuriki...?" Riku pondered the title. After all, it was his now. He still couldn't believe it. Even after feeling all that power surge through him. Even after witnessing the moment when he became a jinchuuriki in his subconscious. Riku still couldn't believe the fact that he had a tree living inside of him. Or the spirit of a tree. Something like that.

I'm not a tree. I'm a Guardian. The Protector of Nature. A Forest Spirit. Give me some credit."

Riku was taken aback by the voice in his head. "It can hear my thoughts!?" Riku blurted out loud. Though if what Junko said was true, if they really are both jinchuuriki, then he wouldn't think it'd be strange.

"Quit shouting, I'm right here. And I'm not an it. You may refer to me as Mori-sama."

"Sorry..."

"What do I do now?" Riku asked, his head turning towards Junko. He was alive, so that was good. But what happens next? And more importantly, why did his mother never tell him about that? That was it, that was his next step. Riku had to confront his mother about the truth. The boy attempted to get up from his nature bed, but his was so low on energy that he was barely able to lean forward. He had never felt so weak in his life.

 

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

"A jinchuuriki...?"
"It can hear my thoughts!?"
"What do I do now?"

The kid seemed baffled. "Yeah, it can do that to a person." Junko thought with a nod. "Yeah, you'll get use to it." Junko said with a smirk. It was a great discovery, but the discovery sparked concern.

"So, this isn't a devilish spirit bent on destruction?"

"No, in fact. It's quite the opposite I believe. It's a spirit bent to protect."

"Well. At least I don't have to worry about this spirit killing through the village."

"So what will you do now?"

"I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the kid, but this is a journey he'll have alone."

Looking at Riku, He was a good kid. With time, he'd surely be a splendid ninja. "Well, for your next step. I need you to fill out a kinjutsu registration form. Afterwards, create a bond with your new friend, become one, and harness that power to protect your ninja way." Junko said placing a hand on the kids shoulder.

beginning to walk away, Junko chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll be around to keep an eye on you. Registration form is at your bedside. Turn it in to the medical sennin when you're done and you'll be on clean up duty tonight. You two made quite a mess." Junko said exiting. The child had a long journey ahead. Hopefully he was ready. His first task though, was cleaning up.

[Riku]

Even as weak as Riku felt, he still some how possessed the strength to push himself up. The boy glanced down to the to the Kinjutsu registration form by his side. of course, with new responsibility comes more...paper work. Why was there always paper work. He remembered back to a time when his mother told him 'Adult hood is filling out these forms. And never stop. You never stop filling out forms.'

'And all that paper is wasted...all those trees cut down for something as menial as forms and paper work. What a waste."

"You make a good point, but this is what the world is about. Paper work and forms and everything being a files. There must be a record of every thing and anything that exists."

Riku hopped off the operation table and glanced around the room that had practically been destroyed but Mori's outburst. "Drama queen" Riku stated as he attempted to clean the operation room.

"I'd like to see you try to fight off the power of a sharingan eye. It wasn't easy"

"Oh I know, you did it in my body. But did you have to make such a mess?"

"It's been 13 years since I used any of my powers. Give me a break."

"I'll give you a break if help clean up first"

Riku's body began to glow green with a strange chakra aura. The vegetation that had grown had started to recede back from where it came. Flowers reverse blooming while vines seeped back under the tiles on the floor. Several moments passed until no more plants occupied the operation room. Some tiles still appeared slightly disheveled but the room was otherwise clean.

Riku picked the form up off the table and glanced it over. He began filling it out until, half way through, he realized he could see out of his once injured eye. "Whoa...it works." He stated waving a hand in front of his face with his real eye closed, testing the nature and ability of his new eye.

"Yes, I was able to completely take over the power of the Sharingan and eliminate any trace of the Uchiha bloodline from that eye. Now it is much more special"

Riku found a cabinet with glass doors and used it as a make shift mirror to look at his new eye. He noticed it was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Instead of a normal pupil or iris, Riku's eye appeared like a beautiful flower. "It's beautiful."

"And there is so much more to it than it's appearance."

"Teach me!" Riku exclaimed, excited to find out just what his new eye could be able to do.

"In due time, young one. Until then, you should really get that over to the Medical Sennin as your doctor requested."

With that, Riku would finish his form and off to find Kitsune-sensei.
